Re: Calexit

Cherry picking select quotes/topics from Tucker Carlson's interview of the liberal talking head from California;

I find the claim that California is in debt "because other nations don't purchase tech from Silicon Valley because they don't like America" to be specious. California is in debt because they've overloaded/mismanaged state infrastructure, and anyone who's not buying digital tech from them, is not buying because they're getting it cheaper elsewhere, most likely asia.

In addition, once the Colorado River water supply is cut off; agriculture in the central valley, and municipal water supplies in socal, are going to take a major hit. Or maybe we'll leave the diversion canals open, but California will now have to pay full market value for every gallon they receive. Guess we can kiss all those tourist attracting golf courses goodbye.

So the California Highway Patrol is going to guard their border with Mexico after secession? After the US Border Patrol/ICE has been shown the door. Really?

California is already buying electrical power from out of state sources (and losing money on it when they resell it instate due to state regulations). Given that "they don't like nuclear anything" in California, are they going to shut down the 10 nuclear power plants that are currently operating there? Are we going to allow a foreign country on our landmass to HAVE nuclear power? Possess fissionable material?

Lastly, Texas is the only entity that has a legal right to secede, as we joined the USA from a sovereign nation status. California was purchased from Mexico in 1848.If they don't want to be in the US anymore, I suppose we could always sell them back to Mexico. Then California can try seceding from Mexico.

If California gets to leave the union, then I want a legal guarantee that the former Confederate States of America may also leave the union if they so choose. (say, the next time, post-Trump, that the US elects another Hillary/Obama type)
